Security readout for executives and security teams
This is an old FreeType font-rendering flaw. A specially crafted Type 1 font could crash affected software and may allow code execution. The main business concern is legacy systems or applications that still bundle FreeType before 2.4.9 or old affected browsers such as Firefox Mobile before 10.0.4. Exposure is most likely in unsupported Linux, Unix, mobile, desktop, or embedded products using FreeType before 2.4.9, including software with statically bundled FreeType. Internet-facing risk depends on whether the application parses untrusted fonts from web pages, documents, messages, or uploaded content. Prioritize for legacy and font-processing environments. This is not listed as actively exploited in the supplied bundle, but the potential impact includes memory corruption and possible code execution in software that processes attacker-controlled fonts. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FreeType to version 2.4.9 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant vendor updates for Mozilla, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, Mandriva, and Apple platforms.; Inventory applications that bundle their own FreeType copy..
